last year i grew pole beans for the first time and i was really impressed with the flavor and productivity ofmy kentucky wonder pole beans i attempted to grow them in the three sisters manner by planting the beans around hills of blue hopi corn but the beans grew much too quickly to be able to be supported by the corn so i had to prop the beans up with stakes which eventually collapsed due to the weight of the beans.. the red kuri squash produced allright but certainly did not smother the weeds.. can anyone else share thier successes or failures with 3 sisters
